5 extracts from the trailer of MS Dhoni's Biopic that are winning hearts already
2016 is the year of sporting biopics that celebrate three of the most legendary Indian captains – Mohammed Azharuddin, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar. While the one on the controversial captain was released in May, the other two are expected later this year. But the untold story of Dhoni stands out from among the three for being based on the life of a sportsperson who has not yet drawn curtains on his career.
The much-awaited trailer of MS Dhoni – The Untold Story was officially launched on August 10th. And, it is no surprise that the video has over 7 million YouTube views in less than three days. From serving at the longest platform in India to ending the nation’s longest wait to reclaim the world crown, Dhoni’s inspirational story managed to give us goose-bumps in only 3 minutes 18 seconds.
Here are 5 scenes from the trailer that have hit a huge, helicopter six!
#1 Dhoni as the TT collector
MSD’s incredibly stimulating journey from a Ticket Collector at the Kharagpur Railway Station to the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team has been an open-book story. And when the reel actor syncs with the real Dhoni so immaculately, the glimpses of the Indian hero as a struggler moves our hearts.
“Hum ek cricketer hai, lekin TT ka kaam kar rahe hai yaha Kharagpur station pe”
This dialogue transports us back to the days when we struggled to reach where we are. Sushant Singh Rajput’s acting is powerful enough to make us feel emotionally tethered to the shortcomings of Dhoni the youngster. And the end result? Our love for Captain Cool warms up even more!
